Watching the news from China it seems to me that ex-pats are load of wingers because the government haven't flown them out yet, all the other countries are still organising flights out for later this week....... same as us, but oh no that's not good enough for our lot.
There was one guy who was disgusted that he would have to make his own way home....no car laid on to pick him up from the flight. Another was chuntering on because his chinese wife with a chinese passport was not allowed to board
I fail to see why they make their home elsewhere in the world but leg it to the country that they had kicked into touch. They should tough it out

Did they really expect the UK Embassy staff to do anything? That lot are usually too busy playing golf and living it up on their expenses account.

In that case they should be able to get back here by themselves without aircraft, eventually.

That would work by the time they got here they would be either dead or clear of the virus

Lost in wonder at the world and often wondering how I got there
